Obligatory “Shall not be infringed” comment.

Also, ANY time gun control laws are not inclusive of handguns, you know the agenda is to give government tyrants more safety from the populace, and nothing else.

I have very very rarely seen any politician in favor of gun control try to go after handguns, which are used in the vast majority of gun-related homicides and suicides.

That’s because every time they try to go against handguns there’s a huge backlash from people who don’t care about rifles but believe they need pistols to protect themselves - which includes a not-insignificant part of the Democrat party itself. They learned from GCA68 and AWB94, both of which had pistol restrictions and both of which had electoral consequences. NY SAFE was their most recent attempt and it didn’t go well even in a place that hates all guns.

Actually, the DemocRats have been going after handguns for a very long time. The 1934 NFA initially targeted handguns, but the leadership caved on that because the majority wouldn’t support it. And the 1968 GCA specifically targeted cheap imported handguns (Saturday Night Specials) and banned them. And every major anti-gun bill has at least initially had handgun bans or restrictions in them. Including the 1994 AWB that banned “high capacity” magazines for pistols as well as rifles.

That was their big push back in the 1970s and 1980s. The even named their big organization "Handgun Control Inc." Their efforts were a massive failure, now they're going after rifles. It matters not: their real goal is to disarm you, rob you, enslave you, and kill you is you say anything against them.

Plan accordingly.
